Descubre la rica historia, arte y tradiciones de Mauritius
Mauritius is a jewel in the Indian Ocean, located east of Madagascar. It is a destination that combines world-class white sand beaches with rich biodiversity, volcanic mountains and a vibrant multicultural culture that fuses Indian, African, European and Chinese influences.
This mountain not only offers the most spectacular views of the 'underwater waterfall' (an impressive optical effect), but is a symbol of freedom, as it was a refuge for maroon slaves. The walk is demanding but the visual reward over the turquoise lagoon is unmatched.
The west coast is famous for its pods of dolphins that return to the bay each morning. Participating in an ethical excursion to observe or swim with these animals in the wild is one of the most exciting and connected experiences with nature that the island offers.
It is the green lung of Mauritius. With more than 60 kilometers of trails, this park protects what remains of the island's native forests. It is the perfect place to spot endemic birds, such as the Mauritius kestrel, and enjoy panoramic views of deep gorges and waterfalls.
Located in a volcanic crater, this sacred lake is the most important place for the Hindu community of Mauritius. Surrounded by temples and gigantic statues of Shiva and Durga, the atmosphere is one of absolute peace, especially during ceremonies where incense and offerings fill the air.
A short boat or catamaran ride takes you to this paradise islet. Although it is very popular, its fine sand beaches and shallow waters are the ideal setting for practicing water sports or simply enjoying a grilled lobster lunch under the palm trees.
To feel the real pulse of the island, you must visit its capital. The central market is an explosion of colors and smells. Here you can try authentic Mauritian street food, buy local vanilla infusions and observe the everyday mix of cultures that defines the country.

Ver guía completaLife in Mauritius starts early. Shops are usually open from 09:00 to 17:00. On Thursday afternoons many businesses in small towns close. On Sundays most businesses close early, except in very touristy areas.
Renting a car is the best option to explore the island at your own pace, but remember that you drive on the left. Public buses are very economical and a cultural experience in themselves, although they can be slow for long distances.
English is the official language (used in administration), but French is the most used in the media and everyday life. However, the mother tongue of almost everyone is Mauritian Creole (Morisyen). The majority of the population is trilingual.
